The SoutheastRegional Identification Center (RIC) is designed to provide advanced training to players in the Southeast area of Georgia.

The goals of the program are:

  • To serve as a process to identify players from around the State of Georgia into the State Olympic Development Program (ODP).
  • To give opportunity to players who are looking for additional training to supplement their club activities. 
  • To help top players of our member clubs reach their potential by providing a challenging program in close proximity that requires a short commute.
  • To teach the RIC players the ODP playing style of possession soccer and prepare them for ODP.

Eligibility

For the 2023-24 RIC season, the players eligible for this program are boys and girls born in the calendar years 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 (as well as selected 2014), January 1 to December 31.

Program Outline

The pool will train as one group when working on technique, and then be split by age and size for small-sided games. The pool will be split for games against other RIC sites to achieve size-appropriate match-ups. The pools will train once a week throughout the winter and finish with a RIC Festival. The training sessions will start in early December.

Program Cost

The tryout fee is $45 (and includes two sessions). The training fee is $75 for a six (6) additional session program.
